Book Designer
Satoshi Machiguchi
Born in Tokyo in 1971; presides over a design office, named “match and company, Inc.” He has deep ties to up-and-coming photographers and has directed a large number of photo books to date.

Machiguchi always meets face-to-face with creators and performers, and engages in production in his own way. In 2005, he founded a photo book label, “M,” and a photo book distributor, “bookshop M,” to publish and distribute photo books. He has presented his work at “PARIS PHOTO,” one of the world’s biggest photography festivals, since 2008, and he pursues the “possibilities inherent in Japanese photo books” with an eye on the world. Recipient of numerous awards in Japan and abroad including the METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) Prize at the Japan Book Design Awards, and the Tokyo Type Directors Club Award.

mumuko Profile
statement
curator Yuka Asano
2020 turned a lot of things into the void.
Not even concepts and values could escape.
Yet, we live on,
live on making something out of the voids.
Feast ourselves with the nutrition of the voids,
until we're fulfilled.
Lightly, swim in the wind.
Whistling, dance like the dust.

artist mumuko
I grew some vegetables from my photographs,
thinking we could share some salad together.
I nurtured the photos and veggies.
But, the politicians are telling us not to sit down and eat together.
There must be a way for us to enjoy it together.
So I decided to auction off all the photos, all starting from ¥2,021.
This way the door is open to everyone.
Take your favorite photos home,
and enjoy a conversation with me through the photos.
The veggies, are for viewing only.
The photos, you can take home.
A now-or-never kind of exhibition.
